Greetings Comrades,

I love the almost omnipotent current campaign with the enormous Lenin posters everywhere. I’m not sure the Bolsheviks would have appreciated the addition of headphones on their leaders head. But Hey! A call to arms is a call to arms, right?

Can I assume that an oppressed Telstra/Big Pond/Sensis worker is responsible for these posters? Surely no right-minded superior of one of these capitalist monopolies is behind this advert?

Not when the chosen figure head for this new Revolution is our man Lenin. A man and party leader responsible for vast change, confiscating and redistributing wealth from business’s such as yours, through a calculated, murderous coup.

Example: August 11, 1918 Order from Lenin to communists in Penza, demanding that they publicly hang at least 100 kulaks (derogative term in reference to the class of prosperous peasants.) A ‘Volost’ was an administrative unit consisting of a few villages and surrounding land.

“Comrades! The revolt by the five kulak volost's must be suppressed without mercy. The interest of the entire revolution demands this, because we have now before us our final decisive battle "with the kulaks." We need to set an example. 1.You need to hang (hang without fail, so that the public sees) at least 100 notorious kulaks, the rich, and the bloodsuckers. 2.Publish their names. 3.Take away all of their grain. 4.Execute the hostages - in accordance with yesterday's telegram. This needs to be accomplished in such a way, that people for hundreds of miles around will see, tremble, know and scream out: let's choke and strangle those blood-sucking kulaks. Telegraph us acknowledging receipt and execution of this. Yours, Lenin

So Comrades if it is indeed a repressed fellow worker sending out a message of unity then count me in.

If however (in the unlikeliest of events) this is just another poorly contrived advertising campaign designed to extract more money from more stupid people, well might I suggest a bust of Hitler with headphones as a more appropriate figurehead. He was every bit as committed to his cause and his short term success is as historic but his politics are more suitably aligned with yours in regards with possession and competition.

Yours,

Ian Baddley
